Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 671 Paying wages

At noon, the Municipal Industrial and Commercial Bureau Building.

A surprised voice came from an office in the corridor to the left of the stairs on the second floor.

"What? Your factory wants to engage in radio communications?"

"Yes."

"No, Director Zhang, do you know anything about radio?"

"don't know."

"..."

Behind the red-lacquered five-drawer table, a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean haircut raised his hand to Guangliang's forehead quite speechlessly. Isn't this nonsense?

Zhang Xinmei, who was sitting on the armchair opposite, hurriedly explained: "Although we don't understand, we want the large units we cooperate with to understand. They are joint ventures in the Special Administrative Region, with a Hong Kong investment background and strong technology..."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, is there such a thing?"

Director Liu asked in a suspicious tone: "You mean that a large company with Hong Kong investment background has approached your factory and wants to cooperate with you to develop wireless communication business?"

"Ah."

"...With all due respect, why do you have that? Director Zhang, you are a factory that produces...toilet paper!"

"People say they are destined to us."

Director Liu became more and more speechless. He suddenly felt like a bad young man tricked a young girl into falling in love. He mused: "Although I understand that your factory is in a difficult situation, I can't... just believe everything. I personally think this is true. What’s strange is that radio communications is a high-tech project. If a Hong Kong-funded enterprise comes to the city to seek cooperation, shouldn’t it be approached by the Post and Telecommunications Bureau?”

"I've looked for them, but the post and telecommunications office doesn't want to see them. They..."

Director Liu raised his hand to interrupt her. Women are really difficult to deal with, and there are some things that I can't explain to her. I put my other hand over the microphone of the black rotary phone on the table, turned a few digits, and dialed the post office.

"Hello, I'm from the industrial and commercial department. I want to ask, who is responsible for your radio business?"

The voice of the post and telecommunications operator came from the other end of the phone: "Director Fan Songfan."

"Please help me transfer it."

"I'm sorry that I can't transfer. Director Fan is not working in the bureau now. A while ago, the bureau established a new company specializing in wireless communication development. Director Fan is the general manager and is currently stationed there."

"Oh, do you have the number?"

"Please note..."

After ending the call, Director Liu followed the number and dialed "Shanghai Post and Telecommunications Development Services Corporation". This company had just been established and its business had not yet started. There were only a few employees. The person who answered the phone was Fan Song.

After listening to Director Liu's opening remarks, there was only a "pop" sound from the other end of the phone.

"I'll just call them liars!"

Fan Song replied angrily: "I know about this. I've seen them. There are five of them. They talk a lot about cheating, and they should be well prepared. People who are inexperienced may really be fooled. Now lie to me, who is knowledgeable. I didn't succeed in cheating, so I went to a sanitary products factory to cheat on women...bastard, I should have called the police and caught them right then!

"Yes, yes, yes, it's not too late. You should call the police immediately, lest they fail to deceive you and they look for another one. If they don't get it right, some units will be fooled!"

Director Liu glanced at Zhang Xinmei opposite, then said into the microphone: "Okay, I understand."

Putting down the black microphone, Director Liu said in a deep voice: "The Post and Telecommunications said that these people are liars!"

He thought so. If he really wanted to develop the radio communication business, why not find a unit with a radio department but a sanitary products factory like yours?

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

"Liar?" Zhang Xinmei frowned, "But, what can they lie to us about? Our factory has no money and still owes a lot of debt."

After saying that, she suddenly remembered something. She shook her head and added: "No, no, I'm not a liar. I have seen their products. They are very high-tech! They cannot be produced by ordinary factories."

"You dare to deceive public institutions if you don't have any integrity?"

Director Liu retorted. "That group of people is not in your factory now, right? You must have made an appointment for the next meeting. I suggest you call the police in advance. Then the truth will naturally come out whether he is a liar or not."

Zhang Xinmei frowned and said to herself: You said it lightly, what if you are not a liar? After this happens, can people still cooperate with them?

"Go back, Director Zhang. I'm doing this for your own good. Be careful not to be deceived. Even if it's true, I can't approve this note. High-tech like wireless communication is no better than raising pigs or opening a restaurant. You guys What are you messing around with if you don’t understand at all? Leave professional matters to professional units."

Director Liu waved his hand to see off the guests.

At the same time, in the Iron Lady sanitary products factory.

After the first meeting yesterday, it was agreed that the "Iron Lady" would be responsible for getting the approval for "allowing communication business". I don't know how long it will take to get it, so I just had nothing to do. Li Jiankun and his people came over again today. I heard that Zhang Factory I went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and waited with great expectations.

Not wanting to wait any longer, I walked around with the company of Section Chief Guo from the Sales Department.

The factory is really deserted, and most of the employees are idle. It's not that they don't want to work, but there is no work to do, and the products cannot be sold. Even if the output is repeatedly reduced, the warehouse is still piled up with goods.

The employees had nothing to do and kept the factory area, which covers an area of ​​about 20 acres, almost spotless. The machinery and equipment in the workshop were wiped and wiped as if they were newly purchased.

No matter where Li Jiankun and the others go, they will be visited by a group of young and old girls, who all look at them with kind smiles and whisper to the people next to them.

The news has spread: several distinguished guests have come to the factory and they want to cooperate with their factory on a big project.

This makes the old and young girls long for a ray of light in their long-depressed hearts.

"It's almost lunch time. Why don't you guys move to the canteen to eat first?" said the accompanying Section Chief Guo.

Li Jiankun and others naturally followed the host's wishes.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, the employees had not yet entered. Section Chief Guo was in charge, specially arranged a round wooden table for them, and called the kitchen people to bring the food:

Two national aluminum lunch boxes per person.

A lunch box contains slightly yellowed rice.

Another dish contained vegetables, a dish of bean sprouts cooked in vinegar and a dish of cabbage fried with lard residue, mixed together.

We can't be particular about the big pot of rice in the factory. Li Jiankun and the five people plan to deal with it casually.

The employees came to the canteen one after another to eat, and soon the nearby wooden dining table was filled with girls. While they were eating, they snickered and looked at Li Jiankun and the five of them, not knowing what was so funny.

But it looks pretty good when you smile. There are still mostly young girls in the factory, which is pleasing to the eye. The rice is really unpalatable, but as the saying goes, Li Jiankun also eats delicious food.

Zhang Fu's face suddenly became unsightly. After touching Li Jiankun, he pointed to their vegetable boxes and then pointed to the lunch boxes of the girls on the surrounding tables. Only then did Li Jiankun notice something strange:

The dishes are the same. There is no doubt that the portions that the girls can get are much smaller. At the same time, the only meat dish is "fried cabbage with lard residue." The lard residue in their lunch boxes is not only for young and old, but in the girls' lunch boxes... After looking around, I didn't find any lard residue.

It suddenly became difficult to swallow.

Five people, you look at me and I look at you.

Ding Lun said sadly: "They gave us all the lard residue."

Lin Xinjia sighed: "I heard that there are more than 400 female workers, and each of them pays less than one piece."

Zhang Guidao: "No wonder Section Chief Guo didn't eat with us just now."

Li Jiankun was silent for a while and raised his hand to point to the lunch box. "eat."

The five of them took big gulps of rice at the same time, until they had finished the last grain of rice and the last scrap of vegetables.

After eating, the five people walked out of the cafeteria among the girls. Some bold girls waved goodbye to them. Section Chief Guo who accompanied them did not know where he was. The five people decided to wait outside the cafeteria. Lin Xinjia took out a Pack Xingbao brand cigarettes and give one to each of Li Jiankun and Ding Lun. The rich brothers don't smoke.

The sun was scorching, and they stood under the eaves of the red brick cafeteria. There was a window not far away, and a voice came from inside:

"Sister Tang, how much are Xiaoyong's tuition and miscellaneous fees? I still have seven cents here, you can take them first."

"No need, it's not easy for everyone."

"Look at your face, my brother-in-law couldn't hold back his hand."

"I'm useless..."

"Sister Tang, I have five cents, here you go."

"I only have triangles."

"Come on, sisters, come together, it's important for the children to go to school."

"I'm sorry, Sister Tang, I don't have any money. I'm looking forward to being paid, but it won't be paid..."

"it's okay no problem……"

The person who was called Sister Tang was most likely in tears, and her choking voice clearly reached the ears of Li Jiankun and others.

Li Jiankun, Ding Lun and Lin Xinjia held Xingbao brand cigarettes that cost a dime each in their hands. They watched the cigarettes getting shorter and shorter under the burning fire ring, and suddenly felt a sense of guilt.

Ding Lun was the first to throw away his cigarette and smashed it out with the sole of his leather shoe with a hollow pattern. The good-tempered scholar uttered a curse word: "What the hell is this?"

Lin Xinjia also threw away the cigarette and said with a wry smile: "Where's the promised city of Shanghai?"

None of them knew the relationship between Li Jiankun and Aunt Jin.

Li Jiankun took a deep breath from his cigarette and exhaled thick white mist. Then he waved and led the four of them back to the administrative building on the third floor. They wandered around on the first floor and found the Finance Department.

The finance section chief, surnamed Jin, was also in the factory director's office yesterday afternoon. She was a little surprised when five people came to her, but she still got up to greet them.

Li Jiankun told her not to be polite and asked with a smile: "Can't the factory pay last month's salary?"

Section Chief Jin felt a chill in his heart and quickly replied: "No, no, we still have the money to pay wages, but the accounts haven't been reconciled yet."

However, the bitter expressions on the lips of the two little girls in the finance room easily gave her away. They just didn't lie down on the chairs and slept. Was it like they didn't have time to settle accounts?

"We will be partners in your factory from now on, and we have many financial contacts. Let me lend you some money first to pay your wages." Li Jiankun said, ignoring the astonishment of Section Chief Jin and the two little girls, and looked at Zhang rich.

His carry-on luggage has been carried by the wealthy brothers.

When Zhang Fu started to look through the bag, Li Jiankun gestured and said, "Take that newspaper bag."

He usually takes some money with him when he goes out, but these days the maximum denomination of RMB is only ten yuan, so he won't bring too much if he doesn't have something urgent, Shen Na.

Zhang Fu took out a newspaper bag about 2.5cm thick and about the size of a large unit, tied with a rubber band, and handed it to him. Li Jiankun gently placed it on the table next to him. "That should be enough."

Section Chief Jin looked at it blankly, thinking that it was far from the best, but the courtesy was light but the affection was heavy, so he thanked her repeatedly. "Then I'll give you an IOU."

After that, he returned to his five-drawer table.

After the two girls under her looked at each other, one girl took the newspaper package and thought that she still had to do her job well. She first glanced at Li Jiankun gratefully, then began to unpack the package and prepared to count.

When the rubber bands and newspapers were taken apart, it was discovered that what came into view was not a great unity, but some kind of white and black paper, and the two girls looked at each other. For a moment, they thought they were being teased, until the two of them took a closer look. Next to the "Great Wall" with a black background, they could not help but gasp after seeing the Arabic numerals "100" and the five characters "Foreign Exchange Voucher" clearly. gas.

They have never seen such a large denomination of foreign exchange coupons, let alone...a whole stack!

After being shocked, the expressions of the two girls became extremely exciting. One of them held the whole stack of foreign exchange coupons into her chest, as if it was her wealth and life. One person thought of something and hurriedly ran to the section chief's desk. Seeing that the section chief's one thousand yuan IOU had been written, he hurriedly said:

"Wrong, wrong section chief, it's not a thousand yuan, it's, it's... Look!"

The confused Chief Jin looked in the direction of her finger. Another girl took the foreign exchange coupon away from her chest, held it in her hand and showed it to her. When she saw clearly what it was, Chief Jin's eyes widened. Violent contractions.

OMG!

Who can take out so many foreign exchange certificates at once?

Ten thousand yuan in foreign exchange? !

Not to mention paying them last month's salary, all the wages owed this year will be paid. Although it may not be that much according to the official conversion, the girls will not have any objections to keeping it. They can just flip it around on the black market and make a sure profit. Not a loss.

This is something that everyone truly loves!

A woman and two girls were carried away with excitement.

Only then did Section Chief Jin realize that this friendship was serious and the gift was not light at all. He looked at Li Jiankun with mist in his eyes and asked in disbelief: "Mr. Li, do you really want to lend us a factory?" Ten thousand yuan in foreign exchange?”

Before Li Jiankun could speak, Lin Xinjia smiled and said, "This guy always spits and nails."

What's the big deal?

Of course, to him, 10,000 yuan in foreign exchange is not a small amount. Let’s just say it’s not a big deal to the boss.

Section Chief Jin cried with joy. He couldn't restrain himself for a moment, so much so that his voice stuttered. He ordered the two girls under his command: "Notify, inform everyone, pay, pay, pay!"
